Example: 100P can be written as 2(2[P + 2(2[2(P + 2P)])]) and thus requires six point double operations and two point addition operations. 100P would be equal to f(P, 100). This algorithm requires log 2 (d) iterations of point doubling and addition to compute the full point multiplication. There are many variations of this algorithm such as ...
The superformula is a generalization of the superellipse and was proposed by Johan Gielis in 2003. [1] Gielis suggested that the formula can be used to describe many complex shapes and curves that are found in nature.

An ellipsograph is a trammel of Archimedes intended to draw, cut, or machine ellipses, e.g. in wood or other sheet materials. An ellipsograph has the appropriate instrument (pencil, knife, router, etc.) attached to the rod. Usually the distances a and b are adjustable, so that the size and shape of the ellipse can be varied.
English: Normal lines to the ellipse. [1] The evolute of the ellipse ( = Stretched astroid) can be seen. The streched astroid itself is not not drawn: we see it as the locus of points where the lines are especially close to each other. Stretched = "squashed" astroid = dilated in one direction only= the Lamé curve.
